STEP INTO INDIAN COUNTRY. Enter into the dark welter of troubled history throughout the Americas where the heritage of violence meets the ferocity of intent. The protagonists of these stories—whichever side of the law they’re on—use their familiarity with Indian cultures to accomplish goals ranging from chilling murder to a satisfying participation in the criminal justice system.

AUTHORS WITH INDIAN HERITAGE or blood join non-Indian authors in creating stories in settings as diverse as the terror-ridden atmosphere of the Indian boarding schools to the dubious sleaze of contemporary casinos.

SARAH CORTEZ (co editor), a law-enforcement officer, is the award-winning author of the poetry How to Undress a Cop. Cortez co edited with Liz Martínez the fiction anthology, Hit List: The Best of Latino Mystery. She brings her heritage and blood as a Tejana with Mexican, French, Comanche, and Spanish blood to the written page.
